The National Boycott of the NFL Did Not Matter
American Thinker.com ^ | November 19, 2017 | Lloyd Marcus

Sunday, November 12th, I joined fellow veterans in their national boycott of the NFL. However, I do not sense that thousands tuning out the games made much of a difference. NFL players and management still display a screw-you-America attitude. America hating Leftists never back off or surrender ground.

As a matter of fact, to continue poking a finger in the eye of normal Americans, Leftist rag GQ magazine outrageously named Colin Kaepernick its Citizen of the Year. Kaepernick is the player who started NFL players shamefully kneeling during our national anthem. Sports media instantly declared Kaepernick, a mediocre quarterback, a hero. And yet, sports media is obsessed with pressuring an NFL team to hire Kaepernick.

NFL players have been fooled into believing their protest is about fairness and justice. These young men are clueless that Leftists view them as useful idiots in their long-term plan to bring down America economically, culturally, and globally.

Leftists say, "We hate this country because America is unjust; founded on racism and bigotry. America is the greatest source of evil on the planet. So screw your traditional family values. Screw traditional marriage. Screw capitalism. Screw your sacred institutions of Christian faith. Screw free speech. Screw your constitutional right to protect yourself. Screw your philosophy of education, hard work and making right choices to achieve success." We've allowed Leftists to fill our kids' heads with this negative view of their homeland for decades.

Leftists have taught our kids that because we have stolen so much of the world's resources, it is only fair that we erase our borders to allow the world to feed on the breast of America; non-Americans coming and going as they please. Screw immigration laws. Screw vetting for diseases and criminal intentions.

I was listening to radio ESPN driving home tonight. The two talkers, Whose names I did not recognize, were touting the day’s action as if it was the greatest most exciting Sunday in NFL history. It was blatant. Blowouts, rookie quarterback disasters, it just wasn’t there, but to hear them pump it up you’d have thought we had the return of Johnny Unitas and Jim Brown.

Yes I think they were told to hype the hell out of it to try to ignite enthusiasm in the fan base. Doubt if it works.

Thanks for the mention. I’m sure your right on target with your reaction to what you observed too.

No, it’s not working. Leaking 15,000 subscribers per days is rather difficult to spin.

I appreciate you giving us a report on this.

It rather funny actually, because the joke is on the NFL and everyone associated with it.

College football is a worthy replacement.

It's still just healthy young men getting all sweaty for nothing.

Braggin' rights: big deal!

Are players still kneeling or sitting out Our National Anthem?

Well; don't watch TV to find out!

If I were a collegiate (or even younger) football player with a possible NFL future, I might feel let down.

Remember when the US boycotted the Olympics?

A LOT of players were let down!

When people look back what caused the NFL to collapse. It will be this moment.

I think not so much.

The FACT that soccer has EXPLODED among our youth will do it!
